Initiative for Pediatric Palliative Care (IPPC): Curriculum

The Initiative for Pediatric Palliative Care

"The IPPC curriculum is a powerful tool to assist pediatric health care professionals in their
mission of providing the highest quality of care to children and their families."
Lawrence A. McAndrews, President and CEO, National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions.

Community for Learning and Action

In the past three years, The Initiative for Pediatric Palliative Care has brought together close to 2000 healthcare professionals and family members to learn and work together in intensive, 2½-day educational retreats.

The amazing new partnerships formed at the retreats are beginning to transform how health care with critically ill children is practiced. Retreat participants are starting innovative programs, testing out new approaches to learning, and engaging in political action on the state and national level.

Award-winning DVD series

The IPPC DVD series offers rich, evocative portrayals of children, families and professional caregivers in a range of palliative care contexs and is a central part of the IPPC curriculum.
